Kudos to club sports
To the editor.
I am writing in response to an article
in the Collegian on TuesflSy April 11
about, no not the Gary Silva case, but a
case that is recognized by manytof the
students here at Fresno State. The Fresno
State Men's Volleyball "Club" has been
righting for varsity status for years.
However, they are not alone!" There is
another "club" on campus which is
totally self-supporting, dedicated, and
committed at doing what they know best,
and that is playing soccer. This Women's
Soccer "Club" at Fresno Slate has
struggled in the past ■ with iarious
volunteer coaches, has paid to travel down
South for tournaments, and has des¬
perately tried lo be recognized, not only
by Fresno State, but by Fresno itself.
On ihe weekend of April 8 & 9 the
Fresno Slate Women's Soccer "Club"
travelled to Riverside to play in a
tournament of 51 club teams from
throughout California. They placed 3rd in
their division of 15 teams. (Keep in mind
BLOOM COUNTY
that they have been playing together wilh
their new coach for a little over a month.)
On May 6 the team is planning a trip lo
Visalia to compete jn another tour¬
nament. When the Fall season starts, the
Fresno State Women's Soccer "Club"
will challenge teams from UCLA.UNLV,
Loyola, Northridge, Cal Poly, and San
Diego State, most of which have varsity
status.
This semester was the First time the
team has been recognized as a club from
the ASI and was granted.money to pay for
referees and other necessities to start the
season right next semester. Although
neither team, soccer nor volleyball, will
be recognized as varsity sports for a.long
time, both teams will play to make
Fresno proud. I congratulate all of the
athletes that have been struggling to play
the sport they love, and F hope Fresno
State and Fresno will support all of you
as you compete this coming season^

A.C. Hill is back
In an effort to show that no occurence
is too wacky for "Anything Can Happen
Day." we've asked one-time Collegian
columnist and present-day bon vivant
Adam Craig Hill to contribute apiece on
his opinion of this here publication.
What he submitted reads as follows:
Adam Craig Hill
Due to the public clamor over my
disappearence from these pages some
weeks ago, the editor in chief has
graciously asked me to come back for a
guest shot. Taking full advantage of the
opportunity, I decided to conduct an
interview with myself. It was held in the
honeymoon suite of a posh downtown
hotel. I looked rather dapper.
Q. What happened at the Collegian?
Were you forced out?
A^ No. I wasn't forced out per se, I left
due to philosphical differences.
Q. What were the differences?
A. The way I figure it, most people
devote about three minutes a day to
reading the Collegian. I tried to write a
column that would appeal to that. The
Boss Man didn't like it
Q. Any hard feelings?
A. Absolutely.
Q. Well get back to that in a bit. What
has the support for you been like since
you left the Collegian?
A. Three of my closest friends said
they missed the column, and a guy in one
of my classes passed gas and dedicated it
tome.
Q. So it's been overwhelming...
A. Very much so.
Q. What do you think of the current
columnists?
A. Well, there's that old stand-by Steve
Leone. Someone should take his Bartleit's
Quotations from him. But I do like    , .
Leone's columns. What I like best is that
the pain he must go through to write
them, comes through when you try to
read them. Sheer agony.
Q. What about the two who replaced
you?
A. Boobs. But they sure make Leone
look better.
Q. How about that recent column
excoriating English majors? You're a
Graduate Student in English, any
thoughts?
A. It's very odd to sec someone self-
destruct in print.
Q. What do you mean?
A. I mean in one column, the guy
alienated himself from all his fellow
students and all his professors. It
obviously derived from personal
frustration though. I mean the guy who
wrote the column is an English major and
yet he can't comprehend die work of.
Chekov or Heminway. That kind of says
something.'

RESPONSE
to the Dally CoUegian is welcome.
Please send letters of no more than

Keats Campus Building, California
State University, Fresno. Fresno.
CA. 93740-0042. Letters must be
signed and havethe author's
name, address and phone number.
Q. Did the .column make you angry?
A. Sure it did, but then I considered the
source. The guy is small change, a real
nickel and dimer.
Q. Getting back to the CoUegian, what
are your feelings about it as a whole?
A. Aside horn the trouble they have
getting the date right, the problems with
grammar and the stink that's always raised
about the accuracy of their reporting, I
think it's an outstanding paper!
Q. That sounds spiteful.
A. Really?
Q. Some people have called you
arrogant
A. Of course I'm arrogant, would I •
conduct an interview wilh myself if I
wasn't?
Q. Good point Let's get back to some
of the problems you faced with your
columns. What were some of the
complaints about it?
A. The only complaints I heard were
from the editor in chief. He said they were
too easy and scatological.
Q. Was he right?
A. Yes, but he failed to see that people
were reading them and getting a kick out
of them. He's a very humorless man, that
editor in chief.
Q. Why don't we get scatological then?
A. Yes, why don't we.
Q. What do you think of the new,
incoming ASI administration?
A. I couldn't care less. And who does? I
mean look at the voter turnout More
people come out for surplus cheese.-
Q. What can be done about it then?
A. I don't know, give out free cheese at
the voting places?
Q. Let's move on. You took part in a
rally against Exxon. What do you think   ■
should be done?
A. I think they should take all the dead
fish, birds, otters and others and force-feed
them to the executives of Exxon.
Q. Sounds strong. Speaking of
punishment do you think Oliver North
will get off?
A. I hope not The guy sold arms to
the Ayatollah, lied to Congress, and to
top it off, never hit on Fawn Hall. If he
were really an American hero, he would
have committed adultery. I have no
respect for the man.
Q. Any thoughts about the progress of
the Bush administration?
A. It's kind of what I expected. I mean
he ran an issue-less campaign, so we're
getting what we asked for. I wish he had
named Alexander Haig to the cabinet At
least then we'd know who was in charge.
Q. Well, it's been great I'd like to ask
you a personal question to end this. If
you were a tree, what kind would you be?
A. A house. A big house.
